MS16-070: Security Update for Microsoft Office (3163610)

high Nessus Plugin ID 91611

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office :

 - Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file or visit a website that hosts such a file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the user.
 (CVE-2016-0025, CVE-2016-3233)

 - A flaw exists due to improper disclosure of memory contents. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, resulting in the disclosure of potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2016-3234)

 - A flaw exists due to improper validation of input before loading OLE library files. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3235)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Microsoft Office 2007, 2010, 2013, 2013 RT, and 2016; Microsoft Word 2007, 2010, 2013, 2013 RT, and 2016; Microsoft Excel 2007 and 2010; Microsoft Visio 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016; Visio Viewer 2007 and 2010; Word Viewer;
